SHRIMP DEALERS HEARD SEPT. 17 BY LABOR DEPT. i Dr. Prytherch Spokesman For Local Group A decision is expected to rendered within the com- fing week in response to the "shearing of the shrimpers be fore the Labor Department, Washington, on September 17th. In the meantime, Dr. H. F. Prytherch who repre sented the Carteret County Shrimp dealers has returned to Beaufort and brings an unofficial report. Shrimp is the most important sea food in the South Atlantic and Gulf section. It represnts an an nual crop of 150,000,000 pounds which before the war paid fisher men $5,000,000 a year. Naturally the hearing drew large representa tions of shrimp packers all the may from North Carolina to Texas If including South Carolina, Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, $nd Louisiana. 'I Mr. McEuan represented the Southport interest. Dr. Prytherch representing our local men pre fciented the Children's Bureau a Ijrief prepared by Mr Julius F. IDuncan and commented personal ity on the national importance of child labor at the present time not pii ly for shrimpers but in all fish processing plants. He explained the nature of the work, conditions under which children work and jiave worked for years in this part time industry, and showed that to replace children with adults in so . tremendous an industry at the present time would rob essential industries of labor. Following the hearing Dr. Pry .therch, as Area Coordinator of ' Fisheries, made arrangements for ,the group to confer with Dr. Ira Gabrielson, Deputy Coordinator of Fisheries, who heard them on the problems of the induotry and who ill support them in the event the ecision oi the Labor bureau hould be unfavorable. Asked about the controversy ver the shrimp ceilings which iave had much publicity, Dr. Pry therch says that it is all part of $he same problem. Ceilings are ased on production costs in the past when cmidren were used. When they must be replaced by adults, ceilings based on old pro- uction costs are out of balance. However ceilings will necessarily ise with adults in the plants and, f course, the public will pay. Gen erally speaking, however, he says that representatives of the shrimp industry with whom he talked were inclined to react favorably to the ceilings set by OPA for the indus try. He says some adjustments will have to be made, but he considers the shrimp ceilings among the best of the OPA regulations. Mayor's Court Mayor Paul heard the custo mary run of drunks in his court on Monday morning. Mark Washing ton and Ellis Baxter, both colored and both of Beaufort, were found guilty and fined $25 each. Two members of the Marine Corps who were not only drunk but who re sisted arrest were also found guil ty and fined $25. Several others, not of Beaufort, were up on the same offense, found guilty and fined. RATION BRIEFS GASOLINE No. 6 "A" coupons good for three gallons of gas until Nov. 21.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES ! JIM GASKII1S HERE TUESDAY Scout Executive Meets With Rotes And Scout Leaders ADVANCE OCTOBER 15 Effective October 15, 1943, there will be a general in crease in subscription rates of The Beaufort News to ev eryone except men in the armed forces. It is with regret and reluctance that we make this announcement. For more than a year every effort has been made to maintain the pres ent rate of $1.50 in the county and $2.00 a year elsewhere, which is the same as it was even dv ring the depression years of the early thirties. It is no longer possible to do so in the face of greatly increased costs of everything that goes into the printing of a newspaper including another raise in the price of newsprint on September 1st., making two raises this year. Therefore, effective October 15, 1943, the following schedule of rates will prevail: One year, $2; six months, $1; three months 50cj and single 'copies, 5 cents. ''''''"'ptfMtool-4i80 perear will b granted lo,me j in the armed services ot the united acaies. Carteret County subscribers can renew at the old rate of $1.50 a year until October 15th, elsewhere at $2.00 a year as heretofore, but for no longer than two years in ad vance. Pursuant to postal regulations, all subscriptions are strictly in advance. Notices are being mailed out to subscribers whose sub scriptions have expired and they may renew at the old rate if they do so before October 15; otherwise the new sched ules will apply. Mr. Jim Gaskins, of Wilson, Eastern Carolina Scout Executive, was in Beaufort on Tuesday and spoke before Rotarians in their regular Tuesday evening dinner meeting at the Inlet Inn, on the work of the Scouts.

In between many moods pre vailed. There were moments when it neared the Camp Meeting, there was riotous moment when ladies flimsy Dink thincrs were Dut ud and auctioneer Clyde Jones snap ped and resnapped the elas tic waist band to show that it was real, and another when a live pig was paraded a round the lines for prospec tive buyers to see, then fol lowed a solemn moment when without benefit of prizes but mere ly in honor of Newport's two boys who have made the supreme sac rifice in this war, Bonner McCabe and Quinton Haskett, forty peo ple, among them many children and young people, bought $2500 worth of bonds. Grayden Paul, of Beaufort, Clyde Jones of Morehead City, and Wm. H. Bell, of Newport were the able auctioneers who gave find and gave and gave until about mid night their voices sounded like Wendell Wilkie's at the end of the 1940 campaign. They were suppos ed to "spell" one another but in See BOND RALLY Page 10 ATLANTIC TO HAVE USO CLUB Manly Fulcher Home Secured For Club House USO Headquarters at New York has made a grant which will make possible a USO unit for Atlantic and assure its maintenance. Al ready the old Manley Ful cher home overlooking the Sound has been secured for the purpose and is at preent being renovated and repaint ed throughout to make it a proper home for the Club. The Club will be operated large ly on a volunteer basis with no nrofessional director, but thu di rector at the Morehead City Club will act in advisory capacity and cooperate with the Jocal volunteer committees. The only paid work er will be a hostess who will live in the Club House and act as house mother. The general plan according to Mr. Carty Swartz, Director of the Carteret County USO, will be to use the upstairs rooms (four large and a small) one for the house mother, the others to take care of mothers and friends coming to vis it boys and who otherwise would have no place to stay. The down stairs five will be used for library, reading room, game, and lounging rooms. The kitchen will be equip ped to serve light lunches for boys coming in from outlying units who have trouble finding places to eat. Atlantic people, long interested in wholesome recreation for the boys, welcome the opportunity for service that the Club will give, They can be depended upon to launch the new Club with a pro gram of activities as interesting and wide in scope as facilities per mit and will undoubtedly make it one of the popular recreational centers of the County for Service boys.

In addition to the dedication, the pastor, Rev. L. D. Hayman, made a report of the churches in his charge showing all Conference claims paid out for the year and the building fund complete. Work on the building will go ahead as soon as labor can be secured.
